LIVERY COMPANY MEDALLIONS
1879 The following 14 lots comprise the most comprehensive collection of London livery company medallions we have ever had the pleasure to offer. We have sold a couple of these lots in previous auctions, but this group – assembled by the late Terry Pepperell – contains many items that we have not seen before, and may not again The Livery Companies of the City of London comprise both ancient and modern trade and professional associations, almost all of which are styled as “The Worshipful Company of...” for the relevant trade or profession. Many of the original companies were established by royal charter, though this is not essential for the founding of livery companies. London’s medieval corporations originally developed as Guilds and were responsible for regulating their respective trades e.g. wages, working conditions and professional standards. In most cases the existence of these guilds meant that no workers in these occupations could practice in the City of London unless they became members of the relevant guild. A large number of the more traditional livery companies have evolved into educational and charitable foundations (such as the Haberdashers’ Company and London Longbow Makers’ Company), whereas most of the ‘modern’ companies such as the Worshipful Company of Engineers and the City of London Solicitors’ Company set educational and professional standards for admission to practice (and membership), sometimes offering their own professional training courses. From 1746 to 1925 no new companies were established until the Master Mariners’ Company was established in 1926 - all new companies since this time are known as ‘modern livery companies’. There are currently around 110 such companies in existence. In 1515, the Court of Alderman of the City of London set an order of precedence for the 48 livery companies then in existence; with the order based on the company’s economic or political power, creating the ‘Great Twelve’ City livery companies that have held their positions ever since. Newly liveried companies are now ranked by seniority The Worshipful Company of Carpenters prize medallion 54mm in gilt, reverse engraved “F.Bentley Trades Training School 1906” and edge engraved Carpenters Class” EF The history of the Carpenters’ Company goes back over 700 years, with the first written reference to a master carpenter in the City of London’s records of 1271.

The company received its royal charter in 1604 The Vintners’ Company received its first charter in 1363 and is one of the ‘Twelve Great’ livery companies The Goldsmiths’ Company, which originates from the 12th Century, received its royal charter in 1327 and is another of the ‘Twelve Great’ livery companies The Ironmongers’ Company received its royal charter in 1463 and is another of the ‘Twelve Great’ livery companies.

1881 The Worshipful Company of Coach Makers (sic) and Coach Harness Makers award medallion 58mm in bronze, reverse expertly engraved to “Benjn Godfrey Windus, Father of the Compy 1865” lightly toned gEF with lustrous fields, most interesting The Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. The Company received its royal charter from Charles II on 31st May 1677. Under this charter no one could lawfully carry out the trade of coachmaker or coach harness maker within 20 miles of London without being a member of the Company. Whilst the ‘trade’ has become somewhat obsolete, the Company’s attention has been drawn to the promotion of British industry throughout the world, particularly in the encouragement and support of British automotive and aerospace (coaches of the air) companies. Ironically, the Company offered its first prizes for design and good workmanship in 1865 (Benjamin) Godfrey Windus (1790-1867) was a coachmaker and merchant who lived in Tottenham and was master of the Company in 1826. He was also well known as a leading art collector of his time, with a large and important collection of Turner watercolours and David Wilkie drawings amongst his collection. He was also a supporter of the Pre-Raphaelites Est. $75

It was initially founded by Royal Charter as a result of a legacy by Robert Aske to establish an alms-house for 20 poor members of the Worshipful Company of Haberdashers (one of the ‘Great Twelve’ livery companies). The school was originally established for boys only, but girls were admitted under the same charter in 1875.

Formal recognition as a major craft occurred in the 15th Century. The company itself has not received a royal charter as maritime trade by definition was never confined within the boundaries of the London ‘square mile’. Instead, a corporate body of London shipwrights grew over time. The company’s status is considered as being incorporated “by prescription”. Est. $75
